I read about a dozen great required readings out of it but that letter is the only one that stuck with me through the decades.

Ive lived a long time and Ive witnessed some great advocates for justice like LBJ, JFK, RFK and Obama but I know Ill never see the likes of MLK in my lifetime again.
Its sort of a sad thing and a happy thing at the same time.
